LIVE, VIRTUAL ARTS AND APPETIZERS THURSDAY

  
Several pieces of artwork created by Brenham ISD students are on display in the windows of the Ant Street Inn Ballroom in downtown Brenham. The art is being showcased as part of the annual Arts and Appetizers fundraiser.

The annual showcase of artwork by Brenham ISD students is taking on a new look this year.

The 16th Annual Arts and Appetizers event, hosted by the Brenham ISD Education Foundation, has featured a virtual showcase since February 18th, letting visitors view art pieces and bid on silent auction items.  A live, invite-only gathering will take place tomorrow (Thursday) from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Ant Street Inn Ballroom, with live auction bidding opening at 6 p.m.

Education Foundation Secretary Kim Weatherby says while this year’s event will be much different from previous ones, the goal remains the same: raise money for local art students.

 

 

The showcase will include over 30 works of art from various Brenham ISD students from elementary to high school, along with more than ten auction items such as a coastal getaway and a trip to New Orleans.  The artwork and auction items are currently on display for pre-bidding and viewing throughout the Ant Street Ballroom until tomorrow (Thursday).  A drawing of 16 items will also take place, and tickets will be available for purchase at the door.

During the live auction, online participants will have access to watch the auction on a live stream, and participate in bidding via live feed and/or a call line into the event. The virtual showcase and instructions can be found online at www.brenhamisd.net.
